My 175G bowfront

[rsisvixen]

Update time

The tank is starting to age nicely, algae is now starting to grow, although copepod populations are increasing too. I keep the front and sides of the tank clean but let the back panel grow its algae, ceriths cruise around there, and are back to their egg laying ways, guess they are happy
Hubby also got me a kessil for my birthday.



Latest addition is a Variegated rose bubble tip from Canada Corals



Very impressed with them and will most likely get the rest of my corals from them.
Although when I picked it up from the group buy host I was wow, this is a large? It was in a tiny bag and was pretty small, I was thinking I would hate to see the size of a small then. lol. Once it was placed in the tank it doubled in size and moved around 5cm till it found a gap between 3 rocks and has happily stayed there since. It has since expanded even more and is looking great.

On a sad note the last remaining chromis did not make it

Some lessons I have learned so far

Lesson 1:
Brand names mean nothing really, so far 2 heaters have died within 3 months of adding them, not buying jaeger again, wireless temperature probe died in 3 days-I'll stick to a glass thermometer for now.

Lesson 2:
Don't ever buy fish from private 'importers'
